A fundraiser has been launched to help the family of a murdered Lambton College student.
Sarnia police said 22-year-old Gurasis Singh of India was stabbed at a rooming house on Queen Street just before 5 a.m. on December 1.
In a Sarnia Police Services news release, Lambton College said it had been in touch with the international students' family, and was working with them on funeral arrangements and repatriation.
"Students are at the heart of Lambton College, and the loss of a student is a tragedy of the highest magnitude. We extend our deepest condolences to everyone impacted by this devastating loss," read the statement.
A GoFundMe for Singh is hoping to raise money to assist his family with related expenses.
"At this time, we do not believe this crime to be racially motivated," said SPS Chief Derek Davis in a news release. "The SPS, in partnership and coordination with Lambton College, will continue our efforts to support Gurasis' family and friends as they seek to navigate these tragic circumstances."
Sarnia police said Crossley Hunter, 36, is charged with second degree murder.
He's scheduled to appear in Sarnia court by video on Friday, December 6.
